Set on Ashenfall, a continent threatened by awakened dragons, RuneScape: Dragonwilds casts you as an adventurer preparing to face powerful creatures and the Dragon Queen. You can explore alone or with friends, follow quests, and uncover secrets across a fantasy world.
Gather resources, craft tools and equipment, cook, farm, and build a base with workstations and storage. Explore different regions, caves, and dungeons, and fight enemies with melee weapons, ranged weapons, and magic.
Activities feed into RuneScape-inspired skills that level as you play. Skill progression unlocks abilities, spells, recipes, and building options, while new materials and gear help prepare you for more dangerous areas and boss encounters.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its steady skill and gear progression, the satisfaction of designing a base, and the way RuneScape lore and atmosphere are combined with survival crafting. Co-op sessions are a recurring highlight, as are magic abilities that help with both combat and gathering. Other reviewers find combat repetitive or awkward, progression grind-heavy, and content or stability uneven, so experiences vary.
Embark on quests, level your skills and explore a beautiful hand-crafted world.
This all-new adventure blends high-fantasy and iconic RuneScape lore on a brand new continent. RPG systems reward you with unique abilities and spells as you progress through each skill. Battle legendary RuneScape creatures like Zogres, challenge Black Knights and the entirely new and fearsome Garou, all set to a sweeping soundtrack of reorchestrated RuneScape classics and hours of brand new music.
Locate them, throw down the gauntlet and carve your path to the Dragon Queen herself.
Your progress will be under constant threat from the looming shadow of the Dragons, as you arm yourself and prepare to rise to face them. Follow the trail of destruction and uncover the mysteries of the continent to learn not just how to confront the dragons, but how to overcome them. Prepare potions, craft gear and push yourself to do battle with the most powerful force on the continent.
The smart money's on the dragon. But we do love an underdog!
Summon a spectral axe to fell trees in an instant! Blink away from danger in a cloud of magic. Turn bones into... peaches?
The Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers you a power unlike any other. Conjure a tornado of fish from a lake! Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers! Journey through the vibrant regions of Ashenfall, discover why wild magic spills from the fractured lands and harness that power to survive!
